I would tell them, if you value your life, they probably shouldn’t do that in Polk County. Because the people of Polk County like guns, they have guns, I encourage them to own guns, and they’re going to be in their homes tonight with their guns loaded, and if you try to break into their homes to steal, to set fires, I’m highly recommending they blow you back out of the house with their guns. So, leave the community alone.

I love Sheriff Judd. A few years ago, there was a guy who shot a K9 and his handler. When the cops caught up with him, he shot at them, and they returned fire, hitting him 90 times. The press asked him why the officers shot him 90 times, and his reply was “They ran out of bullets.”
